The great Rwandan adventure continues!

Our Story
As some of you will know, last year we were part of a small team that went to Rwanda to coach cricket in local schools on a trip organised by the charity Cricket Without Boundaries. We coached nearly 5000 young people across 18 schools, introducing them to the joys of cricket and educating them about health and equality.
Our trip was amazing. It was challenging but also unbelievably rewarding. Seeing the joy on the faces of the children as we arrived at their school and the enthusiasm they had will live with us for ever. Rwanda is a beautiful country, and the people are an absolute delight. But they do need help and support. So, of course, we just had to go back, and we have volunteered for another trip this February. Our team last year were incredible, and we just loved being with them and we are so excited to meet our new team.
Cricket Without Boundaries is an amazing charity dedicated to empowering local communities to grow the game of cricket, whilst using the sport as a platform for health education and social change. In particular, it uses cricket as a tool in the fight against AIDS, inequality and to raise awareness of Female Genital Mutilation. Working in partnership with local cricket associations, foundations and sports development organisations, the charity ensures that the work creates a structure for sustainability and inclusivity to ensure that the game continues to be available for all. It has 3 main goals:
1.        Empower communities
2.       Coach children and train adults
3.       Link the game to messages and action on health and social issues.
CWB have asked that we do a fundraising to raise awareness for the charity. The funds raised will be used to cover the costs of CWB, and these include allowing equipment to be purchased for use in, and to leave with, the local schools and covering costs for CWB ambassadors. We are paying our own flight costs and expenses whilst there, and so 100% of the funds raised will go to CWB to support their projects and help locals continue their great work.
